Terremoto lascia tanti senzatetto.
Il terremoto che il 31 ottobre ha colpito il sud-est del Molise ha lasciato tanti senzatetto e il comune fino ad ora non è stato un vero aiuto. Una persona del paese ha detto: «Speravo che il comune determinasse l’ammontare dei danni appena possibile in modo che noi senzatetto potessimo essere assistiti. Invece, il comune non ha neanche completato le ispezioni degli edifici.» Il sindaco, invece, promette che entro una settimana le ispezioni saranno completate e circa 3.000 case prefabbricate saranno pronte. Inoltre, il governo ha garantito un contributo mensile per chi avesse trovato casa in affitto. In ogni caso, il comune ritiene che tutti stiano facendo del proprio meglio per aiutare e che il ritardo delle operazioni sia anche dovuto alla continua attività sismica che a volte ha costretto i tecnici a ripetere il lavoro. Infatti, in meno di due settimane ci sono state non meno di 40 scosse, alcune superiori al quinto grado della scala Mercalli.
Cosa si aspettavano i cittadini dal Comune (City Hall)?

Gestures—movements of the hands and arms—are an important type of nonverbal communication. In fact, they are so fundamental that people who have been blind from birth use them. The most common forms of gestures are what social scientists call illustrators—movements that accompany speech and that can't stand alone. Scratching your head when searching for an idea and snapping your fingers
when you find an idea are examples of illustrators that complement verbal messages. Research shows that North Americans use illustrators more often when they are emotionally aroused—trying to explain ideas that are difficult to put into words when they are furious, horrified, very agitated, distressed, or excited. A second type of gestures is emblems—deliberate nonverbal behaviors that have a very precise meaning, known to virtually everyone within a cultural group. For example, we all know that a head nod means "yes," a head shake means "no," a wave means "hello" or "goodbye," and a hand to the ear means "I can't hear you." And almost anybody over the age of seven knows the meaning of a raised finger. A third type of gestures is adaptors—self-touching behaviors. (To make matters confusing, sometimes these behaviors go by the name of manipulators.) Whereas we usually use emblems consciously to express a message, adaptors are usually unconscious. For example, you might fiddle nervously with your hands or click a pen during a high-stress job interview. Research confirms what common sense suggests—that increased use of manipulators is often a sign of discomfort. But not all fidgeting signals uneasiness. People also are likely to use adaptors when relaxed. When they let down their guard (either alone or with friends), they will be more likely to fiddle with an earlobe, twirl a strand of hair, or clean their fingernails. Whether or not the fidgeter is hiding something, observers are likely to interpret an adaptor as a sign of dishonesty. Because not all fidgeters are dishonest, it's important not to jump to conclusions about the meaning of adaptors. In the second paragraph, fidgeting means a. relaxing. b. disagreeing. c. moving nervously. d. lying.
